Add to the CBO's estimated $1,500,000,000.000 Obama healthcare plan, the estimated 8 million undocumented uninsured, as well as the millions who are getting benefits under false documents; and then add the cost to small business and the proposed tax increases for the $250,000/year wage earners along with the current budget deficit and conclude the end of the middle class in the next decade.
Let's consider whether this 1,000 page plan can be read or deciphered at all. The soundbites regarding portability and pre-existing conditions are nice but what lies beneath is the final blow to any hope for the middle class.
If this isn't enough, White House senior adviser David Axelrod said the president won't rule out a health reform bill that includes a middle-class tax hike. That would make Obama a liar. We knew he was one anyway. We can also rest assure the real tax increases for the wealthy won't come until after the 2010 elections, therefore he will get his money from you and me until then. Pony up.
Healthcare Overhaul Ignores Illegal Immigrants, by Jennifer Ludden, NPR
Patrick, is there even a middle-class left?
ReplyDeleteAnd is that a real ciggy in Barry's mouth or an Adobe photoshop?
In the words of Gomer Pyle,"surprise surprise". Those of us who sounded the warning during the primary took a lot of flak and some got the ax over at that "other" place. And where will the taxes go from the new health care deal? To cronies of course.
ReplyDeleteA fascist is not a socialist. A fascist is not a commie. A fascist is a fascist,in the words of the late Michael Jackson "dont matter if your black or white".
Patrick, I don't think we'll last a decade. We're already more than half gone after our pension funds were stolen and our jobs and houses blew away.
ReplyDeleteObama is a slimy, disgusting liar. His health care plan is nothing but a goldmine for the insurance industry. As usual we the people aren't gonna benefit from it.
Just to prove what a heartless, slimey sob "Barry" is.. Today I came home for lunch and turned on CNN to see if they were still talking about Michael Jackson. No, they weren't, but standing in front of a group of people was "Barry the NWO shill".
The prez was being questioned about the health plan and if taxes would have to be raised to pay for it. He had the nerve and audacity to say.. "there are no free lunches." WHAT?? How the hell can he say that when the banksters not only got a free lunch, but a gourmet breakfast and 5 course dinner on our credit card.... for life !!
I can't tell you how pissed off I was. As I turned off the tv to head back to work I was wondering if anyone else picked up on the hypocrisy and cold heartedness of that remark? Nah.
It's real, I believe Jack.
ReplyDeleteI think after all said and done, I preferred Bush's bold reckless criminality than that of the smoothie, Barry.
ReplyDeleteHow about his We the People speech? No free lunch while his wife took Airforce Two to have her lunch.
ReplyDeleteThe ride - $87,000.00
The lunch - $128.00 (without tip)
Telling the people there's no free lunch - $$$$$ ~PRICELESS~ $$$$$$
Jersey Girl, I stopped watching each and everyone of these feckless, no good mendacious and complict corporate media shills. It is just pure evil.
ReplyDeleteI remember years ago during the Clinton scandal, I thought what Clinton did was wrong! And then watching Chris Matthews, whose brother Chrarlie I use to drink and smoke pot with back in the late 70's. I thought he was genuine, as I did of most of the other talking heads. Was I wrong!
Then I began to see the lies after 9/11, and which continue to this day. You don't hear a peep out of Matthews mouth because about 9/11. He is a GE shill. They all are. They're paid to keep the sheople's attention diverted from what is really happening.
And because most, if not all of the credulous sheep continue to watch and remain in denial, when they are presented with facts they don't want to hear it. "You're saying that explosions were heard going off inside the trade towers before the jets hit the building?" well I didn't hear anything of the sort from Charles Gibson, Brian Williams or Katie Couric! So it musn't be true.
And to think these media cretins are being paid "millions" upon "million" a year to do nothing more than perpetuate this faux reality that we live. Astounding!
Wall-street (THE MONEY TRUST) sure as hell got it's health insurance, we own 80% of AIG and a host of other actors.
ReplyDeleteYa see Main-street collapsed long before Wall-street did, and the MONEY-TRUST hasn't got the news yet.
Their trying to wag a dead dog, and it ain't pretty
the MONEY TRUST believes it can bleed us some more, madness, Golem gone insane !
Human beings can't get health-care yet artificial entities get a tummy tuck, enamel caps, face lift, and a membership at the Spa with a masseuse

The $55 Trillion Question
By Nicholas Varchaver, senior editor
and Katie Benner, writer-reporter
"If CDS had been taken out of play, companies would've said, 'I can't get this [risk] off my books,'" says Michael Greenberger, a University of Maryland law professor and former director of trading and markets at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. "If they couldn't keep passing the risk down the line, those guys would've been stopped in their tracks. The ultimate assurance for issuing all this stuff was, 'It's insured.'"

If everyone in the world would stop listening to ads., get off their backsides, stop saying, "Ooh, I'm ill," and go out for a walk, they would be much better and 'the economies' of the world would not be dragged down in favor of the drugs industries.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need all these bloody pills which only make you sicker.
Some years back I told a migraine-forum, all busy comparing their multiple-medication régimes, to avoid lactose, and I was virtually threatened with death. I sensed then that some of the worst menaces came from drug-industry provocateurs.
Avoid the health-racket and get back on your active feet.
A walk a day will keep the Military, pharmaceutical, indistrial complex away. Did I miss anybody? Prolly did. The complex is complex.
ReplyDeleteWalking is the key word. Eat an apple, sure. Make it a good one, with zero pesticides. You cannot wash them off. But whatever you do, walk. Even if it hurts. Walk. Walk. Walk.
Now, if I could only follow my very own advice. My cat loves to take walks but I is lazy. Ah, the days of far away when we had a german shepherd. He took me for walks!! And we were both healthier for it. Weather never played a role. Never.
I find the best days to walk or to jog are when they're spraying our skies with Chemtrails.
ReplyDeleteSucking those wonderful toxins i.e. the barium, aluminum and God only knows what other shit it is that they're spewing down into your lungs!
Such an invigorating feeling.
It's a deal. We'll all meet up at your cave for a round of vigorous exercising. Nuff room?
